Welcome to the second time in a row Begonia Studios Presents has been broadcasted on the 27th of the month! This was a very special month for the Grateful Dead and family here in the Great Northwest! March 7th saw the Kingfish reunion at The Goodfoot lounge on S.E. Stark in Portland, and a Prankster oriented "Acid Test" was held at The Mt. Tabor Theater on S.E. Hawthorne on the same night! This was of course just a little warm up for what was to happen the next night at The Portland Memorial Coliseum. We saw "Furthur", The latest attempt to describe the undescribable make a stop here. One big noticable change for this band is the introduction of John Kadlecik of Dark Star Orchestra (Jerry Slot). We were fortunately able to get a good copy of the show, and we were able play the entire first set plus the first two songs of the second set for this weeks instalment of Grateful Dead and Friends. Judging by the volume and content of the phone calls recieved in the air room, I would say that everyone was pumped to get to either re-hear this show, or like myself, hear the show for the first time. (I wasn't able to go this time) We started the show with three cuts deadicated to my three Grandsons (!) Ethan, Kyle, and Carter. A Horse Named Bill and Teddy Bear's Picnic from Garcia and Grisman's Not For Kids Only, and Monkey And The Engineer from the 1981 release Reckoning. Next we heard a cut from The Fillmore Auditorium in San Francisco 11-19-66. A rippin' Cold Rain And Snow. At this point, My partner in crime Tom Chiles and I settled in for a very well played first set of Grateful Dead Music. The set list will prove my point! Don't forget about our 12 hour Grateful Dead Marathon on May first 12:00 noon till 12:00 midnight. It is a "Listener Request" marathon, so send in your requests to kboodeadshow@gmail.com SOON! See you next month, and we'll finish Furthur 03-08-10!!
